Again, prostitutes aren't the OP topic, and it's mind-numbing when people say things like "well, more prostitutes get killed, so gay men don't have anything to complain about" or "you should be glad; in Iran, it's the death penalty." Well, I'm not in fucking Iran. I'm in a country that claims every citizen is guaranteed equal protections under the law. I never saw anything in the US Constitution that says "equal protection under the law, except for them queers." |

Do straw man arguments piss you off as much as they piss me off?
The fact that people actually give the "count your lucky stars" argument as an excuse for allowing bigotry in the "Land of the Free" is sickening to me.
